Description
This healthy and moist sugar-free cake is naturally sweetened with apples and banana and made with wholesome oat flour. Soft, tender, and lightly sweet, it’s a simple one-bowl recipe perfect for breakfast, snack time, or a lighter dessert without refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 85 g oat flour
- 2 medium apples (about 300 g total), peeled and grated
- 1 ripe banana (about 120 g), mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 7 g baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- Peel and grate the apples using the fine side of a grater. Lightly squeeze out excess liquid if very juicy, keeping some moisture.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Add the eggs to the banana and whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in the grated apples and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor.
- Fold in 2 tablespoons chopped nuts for texture.
- For a sweeter cake, add 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
